The following errors are present in this Communication:

The abstract of this paper should read:
"We describe the efficient sensitization of lanthanide luminescence by incorporating a hydrophobic chromophore into a polymetallic micellar assembly formed by the amphiphilic lanthanide chelate. It affords screening a variety of hydrophobic chromophores and assessing the fate of micellar systems in biological media."

Two earlier reports of intermolecular energy transfer between a chromophore and a lanthanide should have been mentioned and referenced at the end of the first paragraph:
J. R. Escabi-Perez, F. Nome and J. H. Fendler, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1977, 99, 7749.
J. R. Darwent, W. Dong, C. D. Flint and N. W. Sharpe, J. Chem. Soc., Faraday Trans., 1993, 89, 873.

2,3-Naphthalimide should read 2,3-naphthalic anhydride throughout the article.

The structure of the poly(amino carboxylate) ligand in Fig. 1 is incorrect. The correct version of Fig. 1 is given below.

The Royal Society of Chemistry apologises for these errors and any consequent inconvenience to authors and readers.
